On Friday and Sunday, a wide selection of workshops are offered. I will be teaching both days this year!

On Friday: Exploring the Work-box: Tools and Trims

Explore tools and techniques used to create the trims, finishes and special touches on nineteenth century garments and accessories. During this workshop, attendees will discover the techniques used on original garments and how to reproduce the look while developing their own sample book. Both antique and eproduction tools will be available to use. Some types of trims we will explore: ruching, pleating, pinking with pinking dies and pinking machines.

On Sunday: A Sampler of Pincushions Make two or three small period styles of pincushions. All
materials for your chosen designs will be provided and instructions for all
designs will be given to each attendee. Participants should bring: a sewing
basket with scissors, thimble, pins, needle, seam ripper, marking
pencil/pen and a notepad.
